Searched the site, read the opinions and questions but just looking for any recent updates (and for anyone feeling the need to express their belief that detectors don't work, don't bother!)
I see a lot of people happy with the mount they managed to fabricate for a standard detector - I've thought about this but up in SK, I could start out on a sunny day, hit huricane-force winds, ride through hail, buckets of water and be covered in snow by the time I get to somewhere to stop. Not a lot of bridges to hide under here and the only thing that will be consistent throughout all of that weather will be the half inch blanket of bug guts on every part of me and my 'bolt.
Anyways, I'm looking at two motorcycle-specific detectors. The Adaptiv TPX or the Whistler Cruisader. Who has one and what do you think? I've read the reviews but would rather have some first-hand knowledge. A local shop up here was telling me about a third option in the $700CDN range that ties into your throttle to cut speed upon detection. I can't find any information but I'm supposed to be hearing from the shop in the next few days.
We better get some warm weather soon. I'm itching to get on the bike so bad that I'm starting to buy anything with "Buell" or "motorcycle" in the description...
